Shinkansen Nagasaki route "Environmental evaluation without maintenance methods" Proposed by Saga Prefecture on June 17, 13:02
Regarding the unstarted section of the Kyushu Shinkansen/Nagasaki route, where negotiations over the maintenance policy are difficult, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism conducts an environmental impact assessment without limiting the maintenance method to Saga Prefecture, which is opposed to full-standard maintenance. I presented a plan.
Regarding the maintenance policy between the Shin-Tosu and Takeo hot springs on the Kyushu Shinkansen and Nagasaki route, last year the project team of the ruling party said that "full standard" was appropriate, but Saga Prefecture opposed this and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism this month. On the 5th, we started a "wide-ranging consultation" that does not assume the full standard.
In response to this, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has decided on a policy to proceed in parallel with the discussion with Saga Prefecture on the environmental impact assessment that is usually done after deciding the maintenance method, and proposes to the prefecture to implement the five maintenance methods. did.
In addition to the "full standard" method, the "Super Limited Express" has the same width as the conventional line and the "Mini Shinkansen" which improves the line width of the conventional line to that of the Shinkansen.
The environmental impact assessment will take several years, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism wants to proceed with discussions with Saga Prefecture regarding the maintenance policy in parallel.
Saga "I can't agree"
Takashi Minamizato, regional exchange manager in charge of coordinating with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Saga Prefecture, said in a general question of the prefectural assembly held on the 17th, ``It is an environmental impact assessment that can respond to all five methods, but super limited express, The free gauge train and the relay method have been approved once, and the railway station's material in March 2018 states that "free gauge train does not require environmental impact assessment." All five maintenance methods , I think that it is an environmental impact assessment for the full standard and the Mini Shinkansen, because it is a misleading expression as if an environmental impact assessment is necessary and a confusion in the discussion. did.
In addition, "I am very sorry to hear that there was such a proposal that caused confusion in the discussion just after I started the discussion on 5th of this month and tried to conduct a wide-ranging discussion. I cannot agree with this proposal. He said, "I told him that I could not agree with the proposal from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the evening of the 16th.
